A dairy free sunflower spread from the Simply range of Marks and Spencer. I am really pleased that M&S have started taking dairy free and vegan diets seriously.

This spread is quite nice, totally dairy free. It has a nice yellowy colour that looks tasty and it is really good value, I paid £1.29 for a 500gram tub. Good on toast, jacket potatoes, sandwiches and for baking. I really quite liked it.

Each 500gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Per 100grams is 630kcal. Sold in the chiller at Marks and Spencers £1.29

A pack of oven roasted pumpkin seeds dusted with vanilla flavoured sugar from Marks and Spencer. Designed for snacking.

I am not sure what I was expecting when I opened these seeds, but they were slightly odd. I don’t know why you would want to have sweet seeds unless you are trying to mask the pumpkin flavour. They taste like pumpkin seeds with a sweet slight vanilla flavour. The seeds are crispy and light. They were OK but not something I would have again.

Each 150gram pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell (see faq). Per 100grams is 535kcal. Sold in M&S for £1.99.
